I much prefer the hard top, that's why I went for the 4 series, rather than 2 series.. I LOVE this car, one of the best BMWs I have driven.. Mine has the sport package, it scoots right along!
Possibly the greatest car ever made. It will only get better as it's price drops but still will have the looks decades from now.

man you are the only one , i like to watch his videos, because you never leave something behind fully and complete information, keep it up dude
+Badr Aladdin thanks! Keep watching us ! :)
Great Review i love the attention to detail, I had the 320d Convertible for 8 years and it was so reliable zero issues including the metal roof.
I think I have read or watched 20 reviews of the 428i/430i convertible and this review takes top honors for thoroughness, honest comparison to competitors and a frank discussion the cost benefit of certain options. Well done, Thomas. Order one for me in Black Sapphire Metallic with brushed aluminum trim and the M sport steering wheel!!!
I'm your newest fan, keep up the good work...
thanks, great to have you here now !
Thank you for the very detailed look at this car. It was very helpful to see every inch of it and you trying to show all the options inside and out. Your review was one of the reviews that led me to my purchase this month. I live in Los Angeles and I just bought in full a 428i convertible in estoril blue with the blue stitching inside. I never owned a convertible before, so maybe some of the annoyances like having to drive so slow to open and close the roof won't bother me because I never experienced a soft top. As I live in a climate where in almost never rains 9-10 months of the year, I don't think that is going to be too annoying to me. Unlike a couple of other folks here, my friends and I feel that a soft top cheapens the look of a car and can't compete with the look of a hard top. That's very subjective of course, but everyone I have discussed this with here in LA agreed with me.
When I test drove the car after coming from a 2013 Infiniti G37 with 330HP, I was pleasantly surprised how good the pick up was in this car despite the lower HP. In reality, since we are always stuck in traffic or at traffic lights, the car has good enough pick up anyway :-).
My car is fully loaded with most of the options. I decided to get the Driver Assistance Package, Driver Assistance Plus, M Sports Package, Technology Package, and the Premium Package. I decided not to get the upgraded headlight package or the neck warmer, but I did get the heated seats as even in LA sometimes it gets cold in the winter and having that helps :-).
There were a couple of options I was really struggling with, like whether to get the Parking Assistance where it parallel parks your car for you, or the adaptive M suspension which doesn't come standard with the M Sports Package, or the Cruise control for the rare times I will travel long distance. In the end, I decided what the hell. If I'm going to have a car already priced at 60K USD, I might as well spend another 5K for all the options that will spoil me.
My car is currently in production, expected to ship across the Atlantic in early July, and then hopefully by mid August arrive at my door. I went with the blue because here in LA, more than 50-60% of all cars are either Silver, White or Black. Then maybe Red which I already had for 10 years. This blue is a good balance between sporty and classy while not being that popular which I like.
In the end, I wanted you to know I really enjoyed your input and it greatly influenced my buying decision. One last note, I love that the car integrates with Google Maps. The other cars I compared this too (Mercedes C Class, Audi, Infiniti, Lexus...none of them use Google Maps. They all use Satellite. Driving in LA, you must know real time traffic patterns on LOCAL ROADS. Satellite does mostly highways only. That doesn't help at all. In fact in my Infiniti, I never used the over priced Navigational System and always used Waze or Google Maps on my phone. Now I won't have to use my phone. I can see the map projected onto my windshield...another option I added which I think is pretty cool..putting your eyes where they should be, straight ahead. Google Maps integration is a BIG PLUS for LA people.
Great! this is the best channel, i cant stop watching
Terrific review, helped me make my mind up. I just bought one am so far delighted with it!
+Mike Gleaves thanks glad we could help !
Thank you Thomas for this great review. I like your unique style of reviewing which offers a very precise and detailed présentation. It's realy a pleasure watching everytime.
+Emmanuel Verpoort appreciated!
What an excellent review! Other channels give you 6 mins - this is as comprehensive as it gets. As a tall chap myself, leg and head room is always a key point. One recommendation would be to do a comparison of wind noise with the E class conv and perhaps Audi A5. Comfort and noise at speed is a key feature of convertibles, so perhaps 2 mins on this. Your English is excellent by the way!
+Graeme Winning thanks! Join us for more reviews !
I have a 2011 328i convertible and the top has been working flawlessly. Haven’t had any issues and it attracts quite a lot of attention, especially if you put the roof down while at a red light 😂
thanks for the info :)
iMan glad to hear that i was looking to get 428i convertible 2016 model any issues with the top or care tips for it?
@@madhurkapoor100 Might be late, but I kept mine garaged all the time. Definitely helped with the longevity. I upgraded to an M4 convertible and it's just as good. Just don't mess with the top while it's going up or down, it'll last a long time
Very good comprehensive review! Thank you Thomas and the team! One detail worth noticing on the car is the gear shift lever. Finally the + and - signs are in the right position.
I do surprise myself by replying a 4 year old comment, but I just disagree too much with your opinion : I personally can't use the lever just because its the WRONG way around ! Regardless what other cars or machinery (even horse riding ! 😉) one rides : to go forward, or accelerate, it's always FORWARD too ! To decrease velocity or brake, one always has to pull back ! Of course, if someone just drives a BMW, he gets used to this perverted way, but if beneath you work/drive oder things, it's not just disturbing, it also can become dangerous !
Thank you for a very detailed, careful review!
Superb in depth review. Excellent.
Very good review. Thomas is the best, I love the details. Im very close makinga deal on a 4-serie coupe, not the convertible but this test gave me enough info I needed. Also, after Audi (great when it works, loads of maintenance problems though) Mercedes (opposite, never maintenance problems but the driving was nothing to write home about) I now definitly want to experience the BMW driving experience.
Very good review. Best one so far here on UA-cam.
+MONTANAMAX thanks!
Thomas, this is an amazingly well done review. I am actually in the used market - buying one in USA to drive here in México - and I found your review incredibly helpful. This will be a second family car for us, and I got the answers I needed from your review. Thanks so much. Salud! Hochachtungsvoll!
thanks ! enjoy :)
Just bought one a week ago. Had to sign a paper saying I would not export the car from the country.
An excellent and very thorough review Thomas. Typically German :) Your English is excellent too. Best wishes from Tasmania.
+Joseph O'Neill thanks joseph love to here that ! =)
Best wishes from Romania.
Lovely review.
Kind regards.
Amazing review! Thanks!!
Finally an in-depth review of the BMW 4-series, thanks!!
tsint appreciated!
***** just ordered a 420d Gran Coupé M Sport WITH the alcantara/fabric upholstery ;)
18:20 in the glovebox is a net at the top of the glovebox where you can put it in.
Great review Thomas..Lot's of useful information!
appreciated, hope you stay subbed!
Awesome review!
Excellent review, helped me make up my mind - I now own one:) and I love it...
cool have fun =)
Brilliant review, thank you!
thanks, stay subbed!
Thanks again mate, top review and I watched all Harry metcalfe and Jay Leno reviews. It's up there. I mean it. Kind regards, Adrian.
very thorough review, much appreciated!
thanks omar!
Great review Thomas, thanks! I have been deciding between the new C Convertible and this 4 series and I think the 4er is the more compelling choice, mainly due to the hard roof which I currently enjoy on my r172 SLK, Again, thanks, your reviews are excellent!
thanks and glad we could help !
I bought one of these thanks to this review. I really appreciate the nods to practicality BMW made with regards to the Hard Top in the 4 series. Some important downsides to note: The dual-zone climate control has no way of adjusting both zones at the same time! Even a Toyota Corolla and indeed some older BMW's have an 'All' button. In this you have to adjust your side and then also the wheel for the passenger's side.
Closing/Opening the roof with the key is only possible with the Comfort Package, if you don't have it you can open all windows (but not close them!)
BMW are obsessed with you holding buttons; Both the roof and the Front seat shifters for access to the rear insist that you hold the button the whole time, which is a pain and dangerous if you are in traffic and it starts to rain.
In RHD countries, the manual shift on the auto box is still by pushing the lever to the left, as it would be in LHD markets. A bit lazy given that the transmission is electronic.
The updated Harmon Kardon sound system isn't that great; it is accurate and punchy but the soundstage is poor compared to other luxury vehicles (You always feel the sound is coming from the front or rear, it doesn't envelop you like the best systems.
Other than that the car is pretty much perfect, so just adding rhe points above if anyone is thinking of getting one.
TChighbury - Thanks for these additional useful details! My wife is thinking of getting one. TChighbury is it possible to get like 7-8 % off MSRP?
Occams Razor Not sure what country you are in, but I'd imagine it should be easy to get about 7% off with the current new car slump. With any prestige car it's much more sensible to get a nearly-new model, as all the overpriced options depreciate far quicker than the rest of the car. Check BMW's approved-used range; they artificially keep the price high on the website but you can usually get a couple of thousand off, and some are fully loaded with options.
TChighbury Thank you for your quick reply ! I'm in New York. TChighbury From 1 to 10 how happy are you with your BMW convertible? Only reason I'm asking is, because this will be our first convertible and these "suckers" are kind of expensive :-)
Occams Razor I'm at about 8/9 out of 10. Mine is a 430i M Sport, and pretty much every option other than comfort access, rear view camera and dynamic cruise control. I've previously owned a Lexus IS and an Audi Q3, and there are little things that annoy me compared to those cars (like the auto wipers - you have to activate them each trip and they aren't as accurate in timing as Lexus or Audi), but there's also a lot that I prefer compared to those cars. If there's a must-have option it's the Convertible Comfort pack, which gives you heated neck scarf, steering wheel and air-breaker. Also check as I believe heated seats are an option in the US (They are std. in the UK, where I'm from). Check the boot space is adequate for your needs too, it's surprisingly spacious with the roof up, but it's an 'awkward' space. I really like the car for its versatility, it really does feel like a coupe with the top up, and is such a comfortable convertible with the top down, especially at night with the air scarf and steering wheel heater. Hopefully this helps, a lot will depend on your wife's previous cars and the equipment you get with it.
TChighbury- Thanks again for your time and all the valuable info! PS I hope that your new car, takes you on journeys near and far. Congratulations.
I bought a new E93 325i 3.0L6 executive in 2009, now driven >70000km and never had any problems with the roof, it works perfectly all the time. Especially opening the roof with the remote is quite a spectacle and attracts a lot of attention, even today still. It's a top quality car and i love to drive it, only the quality of the leather could be better; i already had a part of the driver seat refurbished (damage from getting in and out of the car).
+MarkVL thanks for the feedback, interesting !
Bought mine in 2011 and have driven +200k km. Open it whenever I can. No problems with the roof. In fact, no problems with the car at all. Best car I had in 30 years!
Update; now i own a sapphire black F33 428i with tan sportseats-aircollar and contrast stitching; the quality of the leather is much better; it's thicker and has a high quality ''feel''.
Hi. Regarding your question at 24:27 min, you take out that central part, turn it over, put it back... and you got yourself a nice armrest, which actually fits with the seat! ;)
+Bosniacu ™ ahhhh nice - great info thanks =))
At 6:38 he makes a damn good point. Don't get me wrong, I love the 6 Series but for much less money and with a hardtop that provides greater security against theft or just bloody minded vandalism, the 4 Series perhaps makes more sense.
+CammieGee 👌
the huge plus of the 4 series over the 6 series is the rear seater, on the 4th u have real places in the contrary of the 6th u have only decoration seat
*+ Dem Haitam yea but whjere is the v8 twin turbo from the 6 series in the 4 series ?*
Club Bmw Amg
BMW F32/F33 for convertible, or the bmw M4
is more then enough..4L/V8
watch?v=LZIPnOlhXNw
for a dream, the BMW M4 DTM lol, V8 naturally-aspirated P66 engine with 2x28.0 mm air restrictors rated 487 PS (358 kW; 480 hp) and approx. 500 N·m (369 lb·ft)
how orgasmic is that ? XD
The wheel airvents are not just a design element, but prevent or lessen turbulance in the front wheel arch.
The rear seat center piece comes out so you can put it upside down and than it functions as a middle armrest.
Thanks so much I bought a 2015 435i m series it's such a great car ,gus
+tampaguy35 thanks and enjoy ! :)
Thanx Thomas.I`m using one for a week on Mallorca.Now I know what I`m in for.
Enjoy :)
Very well explained.
Yes I too prefer the soft top. Something more historical about them. But must admit they have good a very good hard top.
Brilliant review. A 430 or 35d will be added to my current 4 Bmw garage soon enough. Good thing that you pointed out the height difference on the 35d xdrive. That extra height is really making me lean towards the 3.0d version and add a engine management mod later.
+Gerhard Richter thanks, spread the word for us!
I live in the UK. I have the 420D with M package. It is a wonderful car. If the roads and weather is dry the roof is down even in the winter. It is certainly a car for cursing, not racing around at speed. Thomas your review is flawless. I would add one thing though. To keep the roof opening mechanism in best mechanical condition, keep contact surfaces clean, lubricate moving components and treat the rubber seals with a proper treatment to keep them supple and watertight. This should help keep future rattles from developing.
🙏👍
Very thorough review 👍 I am very interested in purchasing this car and this review really helps in making my decision 🚘 I currently drive an SC430 Lexus Convertible Hardtop and am looking at the BMW 4 series because it has more room for the passengers. I also love the remote opening option!
Cheers!
Thomas, come to Poland. Your car is already here! Jokes aside, very thorough presentstion. Well done.
+elokubano =) thanks m8
Hallo ! Wunderschon video!
I'm owner of a BMW e93. No issues with the hardtop. I'm really happy with it. No noises, works well, and with a little knowledge, you can program it to open it while driving (do it just if you know what you're doing).
Taking a deep look to the mechanics of the hardtop, I would say that the roofs of the e93 and f33 , are pretty much the same. As we say in Spain: "if something works, don't touch it!"
thanks for the feedback!
Thanks for the in depth review, very helpful! Just purchased the 2016 428i Convertible, in red w/dakota oyster leather and anthracite fine line trim. It's beautiful and fully customized--delivering in 6 weeks. Have included all the tech and luxury options plus M package, M Sport features and accessories, including the sport steering wheel, 18" alloys, the M sills, spoiler, black kidney grill and brake "vents", shadow lines etc.
I considered and tested the 6 series soft top as well---there is no comparison if you want to have a rear passenger. The 6 has absolutely NO legroom once the front passengers are seated. This is surprising considering the extreme length of the 6 body, don't be fooled--none of that length applies to the rear seats. The noise of the soft top when closed combined with the lack of rear seat space made the 4 series an obvious choice.
The 4 series has an abundance of options to build up to the buyer's preference or keep standard options and still enjoy an exceptional and very roomy convertible!
+Inga Van Wagoner Interesting feedback, thanks! Especially because we will test 6-Series convertible in 2 weeks, so I ll look out for your observations!
The 4 series is so rare though. You either see a flooding if 3 series on the street or a few 5 series occasionally. And the. 6 series or 7 for the rich.
Of*
*in America and Canada its really not rare I see it everyday*
as engineer, it would be interesting for me to see in close that mechanism for roof. it looks quite interesting and why not to show that, when its already exposed. great job as always
I had a 3 series convertible and now I have the 4 series. The 4 series is so much better, not just in looks but the handling is fantastic, I love to drive it and you get so many admiring looks, funny watching people pretending not to notice you! Estoril blue was my colour choice with 19" wheels. Dont understand though why anyone would get a diesel engine, noisy and smelly.
10/10. I noticed some of the grilles are different; here, this completely flat face grille is my preferred one but do only non-UK models have it?
The ones I see, they have slighty depressed grille, mmm.
Richtig schöner, ausführlicher Bericht über den 4er. Es werden gut alle Seiten des Autos gezeigt, nicht nur alleine die guten, wie oft bei anderen Reviews. So bekommt man den besten Eindruck darüber, wie sich das Auto im Alltag wirklich bewährt, ohne es selbst testen zu müssen.
Ein Bericht in deutscher Ausgabe wäre natürlich noch besser aber wahrscheinlich vom zeitlichen Aufwand her nicht rentabel genug.
***** Vielen Dank - das schätzen wir sehr! Das siehst du genau richtig... wir betreiben hier schon einen unfassbaren Aufwand, und dann auch noch zusätzlich auf Deutsch zu produzieren ... schön, wenn du weiterhin bei uns bleibst!
***** Ausfahrt.tv macht das ja, aber dafür merkt man bei denen auch, dass die nicht ganz so viel Zeit darein investieren und teilweise etwas die Motivation fehlt. Ich habe den Eindruck die schneiden ihre Videos nicht mal wirklich, da Versprecher drin sind.
Hi Tom, new subscriber here :). The rear seat arm rest that comes out is the Skis hatch. You weren't sure I thought I'd let you know. Most of the convertibles today are focused on Surfers and Skiers :).
great to have you on (surf)board! ;-)
Perfect Bimmer for its money! The most clear and classy design of all european convertibles. Love it! Waiting for next generation of the Volvo c70. Want to see the comparison between them. I like the hard top much more. You really have 2 cars in 1. Much more practical in winter.
+Vitalii Gladun true with 2 in 1 !
Great car!! Best convertible for it's price/quality
How are the seats after a few years? And do they have lumbar support?
Hi, I am seriously thinking of getting this car. I now have the e93 330i. I did have some problems with the roof...
The BMW dealer had to recalibrate, lubricate and clean it. They were not so happy to do That, because it was under guarante. So this roof needs some extra maintenance. But now it always works fine.
The 6 cilinder is a bit thirsty so the 428i would be the perfect replacement.
+Marko Nieuw thanks for the feedback!
The flap in the middle of the back seat is actually for putting something longer through it while simultaneously being able to sit on both seats.
***** yeah for sure I was just wondering why they did that loose and not just to flip
i have had an E93 325 convertible for over two years and no problems with the roof at all.
thanks for the feedback !
I will order the new version with the soft top and the LOVELY grill. BMW is the best.
Thomas! Something just not right seeing you in a car that's not blue 😝
Lovely car. But then I'm a bimmer guy. My wife's X1 has that engine. Very nice paired with the ZF 8spd.
My neighbour drives the previous version 328i hardtop convertible in "Thomas blue", white seats and 19" polished rims.
Looks great! I like the idea of having a coupé when the roof is closed. I used to own a fiat spider 124 soft top which was not so nice in the winter months.
Question: what was the small device just "North" of the gear select lever in what would be an ashtray? About the size of the key fob...
It has a cross shape circle.
Ciao! Thanks again for your detailed review.
Mario Dalla Riva hey :) Yeah that ZF 8 speed rocks! haha love thomas blue =) Ahh you mean the famous autogefuehl basement garage beeper maybe? :)
The best hardtop convertible on the market.
Hi there!
I would go for a soft top convertible, but that's rather a personal choice I think. Because of the lines of the car, I do prefer a soft top :) But ofcourse a very nice car you reviewed there! Nice into details! A friend of mine owns a BMW 3 series convertible and according to him, he never had any probs with the roof mechanism! And he loves his car! I also picked the AMG line with alcantara sport seats for my Mercedes A Class, so I know what you mean when you talk about alcantara and summer! ;) Its a nice feeling and it looks so more sporty! Thanks Thomas for the good and nice review, I really enjoyed it!
Carpassion19 thanks for the feedback!
Hey Thomas, my husband is 1.90m.. do you think he can lower the drivers seat enough to have a good view through the window? We’re looking for an M Sport package.. You’re review is top!! Nadine
Thx nadine! That shouldn’t be too different then since I am almost to same size
What's the difference between a 2015 model and a 2016 model? This is by far the best review I have watched, by the way. Great review!
+Misclickable None afaik. Thanks!
***** You're welcome :) !
great full throughout review. how tall are you anyway.
+TheNyapism thanks! its 1.86m
I think that thing on the front fenders is actually functional, it helps with turbulances inside the wheel wells.
Fusay34 I ll re-ask that the technicians :)
Do you think you will be getting your hands on bmw 435d xdrive gran coupe/coupe? I would love to see a in-detail review of this one :D
+blacov89 Hey, is it really that different?
+Autogefühl I must say it is a lot different in terms of performance and driving experience . 4WD vs RWD and 630nm 6 cyl diesel against petrol. On top of that I dont know what about German market but 435d in the UK gets a lot of kit you have to pay extra in lower spec 4series as standard. I believe it can change the game a lot.
Is the back window made of glass?
Very good review. I own. 2010 E93 also a good car, but my only complaint is the hard ride on run flat tyres. Some nice improvements on the 4 series Conv, the extra length adds to boot capacity and access. I have had no problems with the folding hard top, I do maintain the rubber seals and white grease the moving joints. Have you reviewed the 6 series Conv?
thanks! yeah here: ua-cam.com/video/guylyZs8nsA/v-deo.html
Autogefühl Excellent, thank you.
Change to conti extreme contact dw or sport non run flat, you will have smooth ride, buy at amazon or wallmart a emergency kit for tires, and you are all set ! Rft = crap ! Enjoy then the ride ! You will not recognize your car !
Hi, Thomas! I wanted to ask, what is your personal favorite car(s) of all times? It's just my curiosity. :-)
jonybravo5000 Hey! Thats a good question. It think the Mercedes SL because I love grand open GTs and that one is just the essence of it. Seen our lovely review of it ? :)
Ok...don't get into all the talk about engines and such...Let's just say...I love my 428i all-wheel drive convertible! It's fun to drive and easy on the eyes. I keep trying to talk myself into a BMW suv, but I just don't see it happening. This car is just an effortless drive and it makes most everything else I have driven seem boring and too sedate. Now I am just trying to decide on my next exterior and interior color.
For the record: I ordered mine and it took several months to build and arrive ~ and when it hit the showroom floor people right and left were wanting to purchase it! It's white with the saddle interior.
It's one of few cars that I don't regret getting.
nice Michelle =)
We're going to review the BMW X4 m40i very soon btw, might be interesting for you to see, even if I would also stick to a convertible :)
Thanks! I look forward to your next review:) Michelle;)
I´m wondering what would be your choice between Ford Mustang and this BMW Convertible
+kiwus87 I really like the exterior of the Mustang but the saloon is much worse quality than in Beemer. I personaly will pick 3 series any time.
20:21 I had to laugh so hard ^^. Great review!
ThePixelize thanks! Heh you mean stepping in the car?
***** Yeah, comedy of the situation
I really love these series. Especially when he says "leather kills" while wearing a leather jacket... :)
Cheers! That aint no leather jacket, never had one =)
LOL! Well, in any case, you should enjoy it! Joking aside, really like your videos!
Plus it's great to see a fellow tall guy review the cars. I'm 1.90 and I really hate when 1.65 presenters claim that there're acres of space when the car is basically a coffin.
thanks keep joining us!
Hi, this is a great review, nicely done as the rest of your movies. I also support your strong message about the animal rights :-). I am considering the engine for my 4 cabrio - is the 428 a right choice? Fuel consumption? Thanks in advance, Robert, Poland
Great to have your support on this! Well those cars are dont consume little fuel, thats for sure. A 428 will surely be powerful enough however. Have you also checked our C Class Convertible and A5 / S5 Cabriolet reviews to compare ?

I have just gotten my new 425D. The main reason of chosing the BMW over the competitors was the hard top. In our part of Europe this type of car seems to be much more useful for the "every day" use. I am very happy, the car looks and performs very well. Once again, thanks for this detailed and helpful review.
I drove the 428i MSport last month. I found the driving position quite off with the steering wheel not being properly aligned to the driver's seat and the pedals being slightly offset as well. The A pillar is also quite a big blind spot. The windscreen seems to be too close for this class of car and BMW seems to use quite a thinner steel on the boot. Not a pleasant sound when you close it. Enjoyable car to drive, although I expected better ride from a car in this class.
Rohan Khurd Yeah I agree. I also found the steering now not exactly direct enough for a BMW, however that could change with the M steering
31:14 I remember once you playing around with a guy in a bike. Which video it was?
+pitthepig mercedes amg gt ?
Thomas, my man! Is the Melbourne Red really as red as it appears in this video? Sometimes it appears as a very dull red in other videos and photographs..
good question. But indeed it is pretty red :)
Thank you, my friend. Even though you drive like my grandmother, I have mucho respect for you.
aint no racing channel :) And if you do something wrong in Germany, you re directly busted
Bravo
Well, nice to see it has trunk space. But if you are absent minded, and activate the roof at say 45 mph, what is like the worst that could happen?
+Kelly KitKat wont work
Great video thanks
thanks! Please recommend our channel =)
my only real concearn is how strong would that roof be if it was to rollover
+rscosworthfan well crash safety is one of the most important things ... i am pretty sure they thought about that
Damn Hard top??? Now I’m just deciding my birthday or Xmas....
i will buy :D
man, you left nothing.
you tell every single detail. I like when you tell the very complete interior.
even the bmw salesman didn't tell me as complete as this.
thanks frenky =)
Autogefühl you just got your self a very new subscriber
awesome!
can anyone tell me how music/ audio sounds while the top is down? Can you actually hear the music well enough?
if you turn it up loud enough ... :D
The audio is ok. But get the Harman Kardon option for the audio. It sounds so much better
Hello sir this car price
I have one like this.. Excellent car. My favorite cars company.. My heart is BMW, but mi mind is Porsche. Maybe some day...
I wish my Saab had neck heaters for winter top down driving. The center buttons could be more interesting, too simple. I hate the look of the shifter in BMWs.
No boot space with the roof down then, I prefer my soft top
Soon to be 430i ^^
The n20 IS FASTER than HEMI challengers and equivalent competitors from Ford and Chevy. So the 428 isn’t as slow as you think.
it´s no Xenon, it has LED-Headlights! It´s an option which this car has
RaGeAlucard I said the car in general comes with Xenon headlights from serial production :)
is it only me who noticed people having a picnic on the road?
While I enjoy a good hard top for longevity, the soft top is my favorite for quick usage and noise reduction. The 4 Series is very impressive. Excited to see BMW take the coupe a different direction from the sedan. While the four cylinder isn't as well balanced as the six, I really enjoy how the weight balance of the four.
Thomas, while driving the 4 series did you shut off the stop/start feature?
gbriank1 I does shut off automatically when you are in the sport mode, thats why :)
Nice leather jacket to go with the leather seats ,,👍😉
That jacket is fabric, smart alec 😉
@@autogefuehl That jacket is probably made by some poor young child working in a terrible working environment. Also you're against leather but want to wear artificial leather setting a good example 🤔. You could moan about using materials like cotton too. Animals will always be killed so why waste the leather? The problem is certain countries kill animals in such a despicable way mainly (China and India) I Enjoy your channel but you come across as a hypocrite.
dont the cows get predominately get killed for beef. Leather is a by product... should we thow out the leather so we get less productivity from each cow ?
Thank you for taking interesting in this very important topic.Google/youtube "leather is not a byproduct" you will find plenty of information. Best overview on all those issues also here: adaptt.org/
A special video from Autogefühl can be found here: ua-cam.com/video/8f91KgbVbJQ/v-deo.html
You ll find VERY disturbing leather production footage here as well starting 17:10 ua-cam.com/video/1_M_NNA8RlQ/v-deo.html
Would you want to support this suffering?
Key facts:
1. There are productions where the cow is killed for leather first, most profitable part for the body.
2. Even if a cow gets killed for meat first, you give additional money to an industry that relys on murder.
3. Does it really matter for which cause a mammal, that is 99 % genetically identical with us, gets killed? Would you care about the difference if you get shot for stealing or purse or stealing your watch?

Far too much messing with that wind deflection.

I appreciate that technically, performance and economy are better but I think my E93 3 series looks better. Perhaps it's the extra length of the 4 series that makes it less aesthetically pleasing. Also mine has 19 in wheels and a small boot spoiler. Lots of fun and even here in cold windy Scotland I take the top off whenever the sun shines. In all, a good thoughtful video, Thomas.
+Steve Wong thx steve!
